You can use the Invite form and button in your Game Details page

Or players can apply by going to your Game Detail. If you linked your game to the recruitment thread it will have a button to go there at the top of the thread

That is what I figured, but I had to go into edit mode of my game page in order to see the invite slot, and then I pasted the name I copied from a recruitment post which in turn game me drop down menu of similar names.

Oddly, now that I have done that, the Invite slot is plainly visible where it should be.

I have a recruitment thread and a game design page and am generating some responses. How do I submit a character? I do not know if there is a link for players to this, and I do not remember how I did so in the games that I am simply playing.

GM and players in the game go to the Game Details page. There is a section for players and characters. GM and players in the game can submit characters that match the required sheet format

I must have missed something when creating the thread. When I go to the Game Details page, there is nothing around the words Submit Character that allows that to happen.

There being nothing means you don't have a sheet which can be submitted (all sheets are already attached to games, or no correct sheet type). Don't worry, your players will see the button if they have a sheet to submit, it should be user-dependent. You can also test if it works by making your own test sheet.

Okay. Thanks. How do I do that? For TUW gaming system there is no need for a specific character sheet. There is not that much data, but I would like to make things easy for players.

I mostly meant to just make a throwaway empty sheet and see if you can submit it, but if you mean making your own sheet template, then you can use this code!

[charsheet=Sheet name here]
Sheet code goes here. Here are some simple fillable fields!

[b]Attribute 1:[/b] [_=0]
[b]Attribute 2:[/b] [_=0]
[b]Attribute 3:[/b] [_=0]
[/charsheet]

When you post it, it'll look like below, and players will be able to click Create character button inside to copy the code.

For how to code custom character sheets, this guide has information about most features, and this thread has a lot of custom-made sheets you can browse to see various examples.

Or you can just let your players make their own sheets - everyone can make a custom character by going to their characters page and using New Character section at the bottom.

The problem is that I do not know WHERE to do this. I have "custom" sheet added in order to create the Game Details page, but I see no way to do anything with it.

You'll need to create a character.

There's a few ways to do this, but one is to click on "All Characters" in the bar at the top:


At the bottom of that page you can create a new character.

Once it's created you can add it to your game.

Another way is to click on "Create Character" button in a character sheet template like the one that FlyingSucculent posted above. Click on the + sign to expand it and then on the create button:



There are also tons of other templates in the link that FlyingSucculent included above. You can use any of those by click on the create character button in them as well.

Thanks. I am going to try this.

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. That worked!

I was able to make a sample character and submit it following y'all's instructions. I would like to create a character sheet template for the game I want to run. In order to use the information like a couple of you have provided, do I go to "Characters" at the top of my screen then "All Characters" to get started?

You can make a character sheet template pretty much anywhere, including in this thread as a post, or on your already created sample sheet. There is no specific method - as long as it is within [charsheet] tag, it'll work all the same.

I'd recommend making it in an actual character sheet (like you just did). It's good to test it out there because sometimes things render slightly differently when wrapped in the charsheet tag.

Once you have it the way you like it, then you can share it by copy-pasting it into a charsheet tag where ever you plan to share it. Ironically, one of the places that the charsheet tag doesn't work is in the "Character Generation Info" section of the game details page, so it's better to share it in a thread in the game forum or in the recruitment thread or in the public repository of custom sheet thread, which was linked by FlyingSucculent in one of the post above.

Thank you all for all of the help. Most of this is starting to make sense.

nothing to see here, yet. I figured out the answer to my last question.

Is it possible to replace a recruitment thread with a new one?

I would just open a new thread and if you want to redirect people from the old one you can link it
